Pass It On

Comment Published at 14:3014:309 comments9 comments62 Visits62 VisitsReport

I cant remember if Ive blogged about this before or not so just in case Im doing it again.

Just thought Id share a site that I really love, its called Pass It On.
Its kinda like Freecycle if you know what that is, except its a much nicer community and everyone there is willing to go out of their way for you.

Basically the idea is that if you dont want something anymore you offer it on the site rather than throw it in the trash, so that it helps to reduce landfill. Even if you have something that's broken, chances are theres someone handy out there that knows how to fix it, and before you know it, youve helped take one small step in making our country a more beautiful place for our children to grow up in.

You get your own home page, and can customise your profile, and they have really cool competitions on there too.

So click this link and sign up! You might even score yourself some really cool free stuff!

Re: Pass It On
oh yay! i cant tell you how nice it feels to know that your junk is going to someone that can actually get some use out of it rather than just have it sit at the tip and rot.

I did join up last time you posted about it, but doesn't seem like there are any people in Brisbane. Must go have a look at it again.

As the site has grown theyve added new groups for different areas. I think theres one for Melb, Perth and Central coast now. Not sure about QLD will have to double check.

For all the horrible things I have heard about FreeCycle, this sounds like a great site.  Thanks for sharing.  I'm going to check it out.

Re: Pass It On
Ive had nothing but problems with freecycle. I put it down to not the site itself but the area I live in. The majority of ppl are snobs and are just freeloaders out to score something for nothing. While theres nothing wrong with that, as thats kinda what the sites about, theres no need to be rude about it the way the majority of freecycle members are. I havent met a single nasty person on Pass It On yet, and the admin on the site are that lovely that I think if anyone was rude to anyone else there would be massive consequenses.
